Fishing Report: Miami Peacock Bass Trip (Family Charter) Yesterday I had the pleasure of taking Jon and his two sons out for a Miami canals peacock bass trip, and it was an awesome way to kick off the new year. We had a beautiful Miami day on the water with comfortable conditions and great visibility in the canals. The bite was steady and the kids were dialed in — we finished the trip landing 16 peacock bass. The fish were aggressive, with those classic hard peacock strikes that make Miami fishing so exciting. Jon’s boys did an excellent job listening, learning, and putting fish in the boat, which is exactly what these family trips are all about. If you’re looking for a fun, hands-on fishing experience for your kids (or just a laid-back trip with consistent action), Miami peacock bass fishing is hard to beat. Book your trip and let’s go catch your first peacock bass! ?

2025 Season Wrap-Up — South Florida Bass Report (Miami • Everglades • Lake Ida) What a year on the water! 2025 wrapped up with steady action across South Florida, and I’m grateful for every family, first-timer, and experienced angler who joined me to chase our two favorite targets: Miami Peacock Bass and Florida Largemouth. Miami Canals: The peacock bite stayed consistent when we focused on the right stretches and adjusted to daily conditions. When the goal was “maximum action,” live shiners made a big difference and helped keep rods bent for beginners and kids. Everglades: Classic Florida largemouth fishing with beautiful scenery and that “wild” Everglades feel. We stayed mobile, hit high-odds areas, and let the fish tell us the pace — some days were run-and-gun, other days were slower and more methodical, but the Everglades always delivers an experience. Lake Ida: A fun mix of peacocks and largemouth, with the bonus excitement of “you never know what’s next” water. Great option for anglers looking for variety and a different style of trip. As we head into 2026, my focus is simple: keep trips fun, beginner-friendly, and productive. Whether you’re coming to check Peacock Bass off your bucket list, bringing the family for an unforgettable day, or looking to learn local patterns and techniques, I’ve got you covered with top-shelf gear, hands-on coaching, and a clean, comfortable bass boat. Now booking 2026 dates for Miami Peacock Bass, Everglades bass trips, and Lake Ida adventures. Pick a trip length that fits your schedule and let’s get you on the water!
